    As per the configuration of CB amplifier, it is obvious that its input resistance is very low whereas its output resistance is extremely high.

    However, the lower value of input resistance allows the provision of source loading in common base amplifier circuit.

    Thus, there is no current amplification due to unity current gain. These all reasons ultimately contribute to high level of voltage gain.
